Chapter 417: Sunset (11)
Late at night, Vog, who had come out of the Delhi Provisional Governor's Palace, was escorted home by a dozen personal guards.
The Provisional Governor's Office of Delhi was a provisional institution set up by the Ming Dynasty, and its main responsibility was to coordinate the collection of food and other military supplies by the people of Delhi and its surrounding areas, and then transport them to the front line.
Vog was the first interim governor of Delhi appointed by the Ming Dynasty.
Why do you want to add the word temporary, it is very simple, because the two million taels of gold promised by Voge are only in place at a quarter now, and before the money is fully received, Voge can only be a temporary worker, appointed by Ma Dajun and Chen Guang with a nod of nod, without the consent of the Ming Cabinet, let alone the edict of Zhu Yunwen, the emperor, and does not have orthodox legal reason.
However, this temporary title, Voge believed that it would soon be removed, for the gold he had raised was already on its way, and would soon reach Delhi, and if he could become the Governor of India in the future, then the Governor of Delhi would be passed on by him to his son.
From the Governor's Palace to Vog's mansion in Delhi, the carriage travels for about a quarter of an hour, crossing the avenues and alleys in between, from the east to the west.
The eastern city was a prosperous area of Delhi, where the Turkic aristocracy used to live, and the royal palace and ministers' mansions were occupied by the Ming generals after the war, and the western city was where the Indians should live.
The carriage was large and luxurious, and in addition to Vog, there was another Kshatrii Rajeep, and the two were allies, both of whom were interested in seizing the supreme rule over the land of India after the fall of the Sultanate of North Delhi.
"The army of Marshal Ma of the Ming people has arrived at Isluci Castle, and it is estimated that it will not be long before the invincible butcher will triumph, and our side will speed up a bit."
Vog pinched his eyebrows, looking quite tired.
"These days, I have contacted a lot of people, and the big guys feel that Mingren's requirements are too harsh, and there is a lot of resistance."
Rajp hesitated: "Seventy percent of the tax, isn't this forcing people to die, even if that bastard of Mahmud is in power, it's only fifty percent of the tax." ”
Vog's face turned cold: "You don't seem to have figured out the current situation, Mahmud is dead, and now the one in power is Mingren, who is a hundred times stronger than Mahmud, and the more cruel butcher, he wants seventy percent, what if he doesn't want to?"
You go and talk to the Ming Dynasty and see if those Ming people are willing to reason and be merciful to you. ”
Rajeep, who had touched a nail, sneered a little awkwardly, and asked him to reason with Ma Dajun, if he had the courage to do so, he should have gathered a crowd to rebel many years earlier.
"Don't think about procrastinating on the conditions, hurry up and implement this matter, I have heard in the governor's palace these days that since the death of Mahmud, the Turkic governors of the southern states have begun to surrender, you should hurry up and contact the group of people in the city, see how many of them are willing to be the governor, if so, take the money out."
The work of the second dealer, Vog has now taken over, Daming does not seem to have the intention of interfering in arranging the governors of the states, but is willing to give full authority to the future governor of India, and Vog, who is infinitely close to this position, is naturally the best.
"As for those who don't want to talk, just deal with it."
Vog said coldly: "Daming didn't give us too much time, and we can't give Singhji too much time, we must finalize this matter as soon as possible, and when I sit in this position in the future, we will slowly find ways to solve other problems, but the first and foremost point is to solve Singhji." ”
"Okay, I'll arrange it as soon as possible."
Seeing that Vog had made up his mind, Rajep did not persuade him again, so he nodded and agreed.
Vog, who was very happy about this, put his arm around Rajeep's shoulder and promised in the most sincere tone.
"Rajep, my brother, we will use the strength of the Ming Dynasty to conquer Bahmani in the south, we will fight all the way to Ceylon, unify the whole of South India, and establish a new dynasty that is wider than the Mauryan Empire, and you will enjoy this glory and power with me."
An ambitious guest vying for power, will there be truth in his mouth.
Rajp smiled bitterly, he only hoped that when the war was over, he would be able to return to his homeland, and Jijarat would be the governor.
Both of them were planning their own futures, but when the carriage drove into the last street, two teams of sturdy men in black had been waiting here for a long time.
"Father, here they are."
In a private house, a girl peeked out of the window, and when she found the carriage, she turned her head and said.
This is Sana, Singhki's adopted daughter.
What are the father and daughter doing here in the middle of the night peeking at Vogel?
"Thank you for everything you've done for me, my daughter."
Singh Ji stepped forward, looked at the approaching convoy, and said excitedly.
"I will have all the people of the gods praise your bravery in the future, and now, let everyone get ready."
Holding down the beating heart in his chest, Singh said with a pretended composure.
Sana nodded, took out a bamboo flute, and blew it gently.
As the flute sounded, the black-clothed squads on the houses on both sides took down their crossbows one after another and hung up clusters of arrows shining with cold stars.
It's an ambush against Vog!
It is also the so-called solution in Singhki's mouth, he wants to kill Vog and Rajep, two rivals who threaten his position.
The carriage was getting closer and closer, until it slowly drove into the ambush circle, and Singhki could even see the lazy, listless Vog guards around the carriage.
And the one who participated in the ambush was an elite team with serious military training, and his identity was Chen Chunsheng's house slave!
That's right, in these days, Sana forged Chen Chunsheng's handwritten letterhead and transferred this group of domestic slaves composed of Southern Burmese and Siamese from Chen Chunsheng's mansion in Allahabad to Delhi and single-handedly prepare for this ambush.
In terms of combat, Singh Ji obviously couldn't believe the combat effectiveness of the group of serfs under his leadership, although Sana was only transferred to a group of house slaves, but they were also the house slaves of the Ming general, and they were seriously trained.
Soon, the carriage entered the center of the ambush circle, and the whistle suddenly became louder.
The sound of dozens of powerful crossbows rang out one after another, followed by the sound of arrows entering the body and the screams of Vog's guards.
Got it!
Singhji, who was peeping inside the house, was so excited that he rushed out of the house and yelled.
"Kill Vog and Rajep, the two traitors who betrayed the gods."
Two teams of men in black jumped down from the roof, put away the crossbow in their hands, and took out short daggers to quickly surround the carriage.
"Come out and surrender, damn Vog."
The excited Singhji stood outside the carriage and laughed proudly: "If you come out and kneel at my feet now, maybe I can give you a decent and comfortable death." ”
Soon, the happy Singhki couldn't laugh, because he found that the carriage in front of him was quiet as if there was no one!
"Archery!"
Singhki ordered, dozens of crossbow machines were lifted again, and soon the entire carriage was shattered by fire.
And no blood flowed out, the carriage was empty!
"Hit the mark!"
Singhki's eyes widened and he roared, looking back in shock, and suddenly the torches brightened on both sides.
Vog and Rajeep, who were hated by him, were turning out of an alley at this time, and beside the two of them, there was also a senior general of the Ming army.
This person Singhji knows, Chief of Staff of the Ming Seven-Nation Alliance, Chen Guang!
When he saw the ridicule and disdain on Chen Guang's face, Singhji knew that he had been betrayed by the Ming people.
Why?
Why did Da Ming sell himself?
Could it be that the Ming people didn't want to be the governor of India at all, and all the promises made at the beginning were false?
Now, his own use value is gone, so Akito chooses to wait for his true colors to be exposed before solving himself?
"It's getting late, Honorable Priest Tividi, what are you doing here?"
With the gesture of a victor, Vog looked at Singhki with a smile and said: "Do you like to take your daughter, oh, and your guards in the middle of the night, to attack an empty carriage and shoot some poor children?" ”
Enraged by such ridicule, Singh pointed at Vog's nose and scolded: "You shameless villain, traitor to the gods. ”
"Am I shameless?"
Voge was stunned, and then laughed angrily: "If it weren't for the reminder of the honorable General Ming, I would have died under your ambush by now, and you would now say that I am shameless."
Singhki, look at what you've done these days, are you still a god worshipper, do you still have a little bit of the virtue of a great Brahmin?
Now you want to kill me and Rajep, kill the two leaders who led the people to bravely drive out the infidels and recover Delhi, just so that you can shamelessly steal the fruits of victory that belong to the people, you are the real, despicable shameless villain! ”
Singhki was unable to argue, he turned his head to look at Chen Guang, but the latter stood indifferently, as if he was watching a play, watching a monkey show.
Ridiculous, pathetic, shameful!
Singh Ji closed his eyes in pain, a worshipper of Lord Shiva, two Kshatriya lords, at this moment in the eyes of the Ming people, like three monkeys, in the most vivid performance of despicable human nature, for the Ming people to watch.
"Forget it, I don't want to say anything more to a shameless villain like you, respected General Chen, please order your soldiers to kill him."
Voge turned his head to look at Chen Guang, but he didn't expect the latter to spit out a word indifferently.
"No!"
No?
Both Vog and Singhki were stunned.
Things have come to such a field, one must be dead and one side will survive, what does this not mean?
Chen Guang said lazily: "Both of you want to be the governor of India, which makes me and Ma Shuai very embarrassed, I don't know how to ask our great emperor His Majesty, if you report it truthfully, then it needs our majesty to decide, you know, our emperor is very busy, his precious time should not be wasted on people like you."
And we are only courtiers, and we are not qualified to decide for Your Majesty, and no matter how we choose, it is not very fair, so after thinking about it, I decided to give each of you a fair chance, a duel, and whoever is the victor between the two of you will be the governor of India. ”
Duel, fight?
Singhki said incredulously: "General, are you kidding? ”
"The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty never joke, no matter where they are, on any occasion!"
Chen Guang's face suddenly turned cold, and he took out his saber and threw it at Singhji's feet: "Pick him up, kill Vog, or, be killed by Voge." ”
At this time, the soldiers behind Chen Guang also drew their knives and stuffed them into Vog's hands.
Singh Ji can see it clearly at this moment, the Ming people don't take them seriously at all, from beginning to end, they are playing with them, treating them as monkeys and ants, not only ignoring their lives, but also ignoring their qualifications as human beings.
Weakness is the original sin!
Compared with Singhji, who mourned more than his heart died, Vog already laughed proudly.
"Hahahaha, General Chen, what you did was right, you are really a fair and respectable person, yes, we should get a fair opportunity to decide, who is qualified to be this governor, and those who do not have the courage are not qualified to be the eagle dog of His Majesty the Ming Emperor."
After speaking, with a knife in both hands, he ran to Singh Ji and slashed down with a fierce knife.
Poor Singhki only has one hand, and after a panicked parry, he was chased and cut by Vog, and two people who stood for power and life jumped up and down like this under the watchful eyes of hundreds of people, and you chased after me.
Such a chaotic fighting chase and knife technique made Chen Guang and the Ming soldiers who watched it frown, pointing at a lot of disdain and mockery.
Finally, Singhji, who was old and had never eaten a decent meal in his life, was the opponent of Voge, and soon fell to the ground due to exhaustion, which made Vog very excited, and he excitedly picked up the knife in his hand and slashed it hard.
However, what he saw was the indifferent eyes of Singh Ji who turned over.
"Poof!"
Singhki's knife quickly stabbed Vog in the chest, and the latter opened his mouth in vain, leaving a stream of blood in his wake.
"You're not a Brahmin."
Vog, who had fallen on Singhki, muttered with his last strength.
"You're a soldier."
"You know too late."
Singh Ji pushed Vog away with one arm, and after taking a sip, he panted and looked at Chen Guang.
"I killed Vog, you say, does it count?"
"Of course."
Chen Guang had a big smile on his face and applauded Singhji's performance.
"The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty never joke, they have always been true to their word, if you kill Voge, when you arrive in Nanjing, you will be crowned the governor of India or even the pope of Hinduism."
Singhji's heart suddenly fell under a shadow, and then he felt a chill in his heart.
Turning his head with difficulty, what Singh saw was his daughter.
Sarah!
"Why?"
"The hatred of more than ten years ago, do you really think I can't remember?"
Sana said hatefully: "All these years, you have been deceiving the world, saying that your right arm was cut off by yourself, in fact, it was you who attacked my parents and wanted to snatch them, and were cut off by my father." ”
Singh Ji laughed silently: "Yes, so I regret it countless times, regret that I didn't want to kill you that day." ”
"But you're no longer qualified to repent."
Sana was ruthless, and forcefully slashed the dagger inserted in Singhji's heart, and in the blood gushing, Singhji fell to the ground weakly.
"It's a pity, it seems that you can't go to Nanjing to be canonized, your papal dream is over, and I, will become a female governor, or even, a queen!"
With a long exhale, Sana looked at Chen Guang and knelt down.
"Thank you."
"Sister-in-law doesn't have to be polite."
Chen Guang stepped forward and said with a smile: "Congratulations to my sister-in-law, General Chen will turn around in a few days, and on the day of the class, you can go with us to Nanjing to meet our emperor." ”
With that, Chen Guang looked at the two teams of men in black standing on the street.
"Your mission is accomplished."
When the words fell, the two teams of black-clothed men did not hesitate at all, and the short dagger in their hands simply sank into their hearts, and then they fell into the night one after another.
Behind him, Rajep, who was originally standing, immediately prostrated on the ground at this moment, offering his loyalty to Chen Guang and Sana.
"Kill or stay?"
"Keep it."
The two of them were like this, and the Ming army, who had watched this wonderful show, looked at each other and smiled, and took out a lot of tools like tricks.
Wash the floor.
